Vicky did not resist Tyler at first, but at this moment, she did not feel appalled at all apart from the fear she felt from earlier.
...
The next day, Vicky woke up with dark eye bags.
She had woken up half an hour late as she would often wake up early to prepare breakfast for Tyler. However, after what happened the night before, she did not know how to face him.
His handsome looks and cold demeanor had eaten away her guard. He did not seem interested in women and would often be extremely distant, so Vicky forgot that he was still an adult man and that it was dangerous for her to be alone with a man under the same roof.
What happened the night before was the perfect example of it.
She went to wash up and thought that Tyler must have already left at this time, only to find Tyler sitting elegantly on the couch in the living room.
There was not a single wrinkle on his shirt, and his black trousers outlined his long legs.
He seemed to have returned to normalcy without a trace of his discomfited state the night before, nor was there any guilt or embarrassment on his face.
She came to a sudden halt when she saw Tyler.
Tyler spotted her as well, but instead of choosing to run away like Vicky, he said, "Let's talk."
Vicky stood still for a while before dragging her feet over to him and sat on a spot that was furthest from Tyler as though afraid he might pounce on her.
Vicky knew her action had no meaning and that she would be powerless if Tyler truly wanted to force himself on her.
Silence fell over the room, and Tyler took the initiative to start. "Last night... I'm sorry. I was drunk."
